Great Aunt Fran had a wonderfully strong sense of fun and family - I will remember her strength, her convictions - and some great birthdays I celebrated with her, my Mom and Dad, where we shared great food, but even better conversation.

My aunt Fran was one of the most wonderful and beautiful people that I have ever known. On the day that her husband, my uncle Lawrence, returned home following his long trek across Europe during World War ll, I watched her fly down a flight of stairs into his arms. And together, they raised a wonderful and beautiful family.

Larry, I am sorry for your loss of your mother. No matter how old or how long they are sick, losing your mother is still a tremendous loss. My mother died at the age of 96 and I can thank God for having her for so long.
I think of you and Jan a lot and hope you are well.
